Onboard Devices

a future boot process), the computer prompts you to press
<Ctrl><Alt><b>.
Pressing this key combination causes a menu to display that allows you to
select a method for booting from a network server. If a boot routine is not
available from the network server, the computer attempts to boot from the
next device in the boot sequence list.
